O Amor, Você e Eu

With O Amor, Você e Eu, Só Pra Contrariar brings us a piece that invites us to feel the rhythm in its purest form. The song, lasting 3 minutes and 35 seconds, delves into the roots of Brazilian music, exploring genres such as Pagode, Samba, Merengue, and Salsa, with touches of Reggae. It reflects the energy that characterized the group during its peak, when they led a resurgence of samba in Brazil in the late 1980s.

The sound of Só Pra Contrariar, and particularly this song, is fueled by the skill of its musicians. The band, led by Alexandre Pires, boasted a solid lineup: Serginho Salles on keyboards, Luisinho Vital on bass, Hamilton Faria contributing a warm saxophone, Fernando Pires on drums, and in percussion, Juliano Pires, Luis Fernando, and Rogerio Viana, who conveyed the rhythm with an innate connection. This combination shaped a style that resonated, propelling the group to sign with BMG International and collaborate with artists of the caliber of Gloria Estefan in Santo Santo. The year 1997 was particularly significant, with the release of their fifth album that propelled the band to achieve notable recognition.
